1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Systemic adeno-associated virus (AAV) delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) would broaden neuroscience studies and therapeutic development, but capsids evolved in mice often underperform across species. We used structure-guided computational prioritization of short peptide inserts predicted to engage the BBB-associated Ly6-family receptor Ly6e/LY6E, grafting candidates into a surface loop of an AAV9 capsid. Selected variants increased blood-brain barrier transduction and enabled widespread CNS gene delivery in Syrian hamsters after intravenous dosing, with lead capsids showing Ly6e-dependent binding and transduction in cell assays. Using the same strategy for the human ortholog, we identified multiple AAV9 variants with LY6E-dependent enhancement of
